HUNTINGTON -- With 23 years of history in the Huntington community, Mac-Reedo's is an Irish-themed sports bar that prides itself on friendly service.

The bar was first opened in 1989 under the name "Macintosh's." Four years ago the bar was purchased by current owner Connie Reed, who changed the name to signify the new ownership. The bar features pool, hand shuffleboard, darts and a "Golden Tee" golf video game as well as a host of television sets for sports. The bar also features an outdoor deck with heating and a private room that can be rented for parties.

"We've established regulars really well," said Aletha Kister, bartender and server at Mac-Reedo's. "We have a great staff that is really personable. It's a cozy atmosphere, and I think we're warm and inviting. We're really big with Marshall University. There's Marshall jerseys hanging off the walls. Our owner loves Marshall.

"We're known primarily as the Irish place in town, as we always have Guinness on draft," she added. "We also have a wide variety of bottled beers. We're going to start offering craft beers on tap in November. There's a new beer out of Ohio called Duck Head that I believe we will be offering in early November. It hasn't been available in West Virginia yet."

In addition to the full service bar, the restaurant also serves burgers, salads and an assortment of traditional "pub grub."

"We sell a lot of nachos," Kister said. "I really love our wings. I think we have the best chicken wings in town. Our Reuben and fish sandwiches are really good. We also have our famous cheese soup. It's very filling."

Mac-Reedo's has two different daily lunch specials Monday through Friday featuring items for under $5. The bar also offers a variety of late-night drink specials including discount pitchers on Mondays. There's also the "power hour" specials at 6 p.m. and 10 p.m. with discounts on drafts. The bar also regularly hosts team trivia on Tuesdays.
